Hey
Sorry its been a while. Friday & weekend of 25/26 April spent some time in the Bay of Plenty in Whakatane and Waiotahi. The slide show has photos of Wairaka at the Whakatane river mouth, and some taken of the ceremonial waka, Hinemoana and the carved shelter in which it rests. Also photos of some art & Captain James Cook together with local Maori legends. Then off to a meeting at Waiotahi - where KJ's whanau (on the fathers side) comes from. I love the river estuary and the rivermouth opening to the Bay of Plenty. Best swimming in the Bay of Plenty I reckon. Meet Te Pono the tiki. Got Te Pono in Whakatane. Looks great huh. Arrived back in Wellington and off to the Weta Cave. You have to go if you're in Wellington - amazing...
WETA
hey - I love the photos! I was up there (Whakatane) for fieldwork last September - what a beautiful part of the country!
